Sunil Shetty was at the peak of his acting career in Bollywood around the same time the likes of Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar were churning out hits and making a niche for themselves in the industry.
But despite kicking things off from the same level during the start of their careers, both Ajay and Akshay have managed to remain more relevant over time and have continued to entertain a new generation of moviegoers, while Sunil hasn’t had that kind of longevity.
But despite it all, the actor insists that he has his head on his shoulders and feels proud to be called an actor.
In a recent interaction with reporters at a media event in Mumbai, the actor stated that he does not feel jealous of the success his contemporaries have received, but in fact, he feels proud of them.
Aye Raaaaajjjuuuu! Always such a pleasure to see you!!! So happy to be smiling together forever! #Repost @akshaykumar with @get_repost This is not a throwback but takes me back to so many. As always was lovely catching up with one of my oldest friend and co-star @suniel.shetty today 🙂
Here is what he was quoted as saying by Indiatimes:
“I never enter a room thinking that my last Friday release was fabulous or bad. I am very strong mentally, I believe in myself. Today when I see Akshay and Ajay, I feel so proud, I salute them, they are very close friends of mine. Even today, they inspire me by what they have achieved, I am not jealous, I have made mistakes that is why where I am, I am, so I appreciate Akshay and Ajay, and I wish I was like them, but I will and for that I need to work hard.”
Reflecting back on the career-mistakes he did and upcoming launch of his kids in the movie business, here is what the actor further stated:
“Never ever, that’s why I made the mistakes I made, I was very emotional, I signed the films with directors saying, ‘sir assistant hoon, kar lo,’ I did it, I never planned my career, I never planned the highs and low. If I fell, I fell, if today, my Friday is not good, it’s because of the mistakes I made, but somewhere down the line, I feel Ahan and Athiya will be blessed with everything I did, Athiya was been launched by Salman and now Ahan with Sajid and Milan Luthria, what more can anyone ask for?”.
When I’m not making fun of her… I’m making her laugh! U are the best thing about me !!! MY HAPPY . #HappyDaughtersDay My Baby!! @athiyashetty
Sunil, who took a break from limelight to take care of his ailing father, is now happy to be back in front of the media, awaiting the launch of his kids.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could see a collaborative project featuring all three of our favorite “90’s heroes” – especially considering how Sunil has aged like a fine, sexy, delicious wine?
What do you think?
